I cannot give all the comments in full, but can quickly share the
following:

There are some restructuring underway in the branch called
Pootle-locking-branch. David is working on implementing file locking to
enable pootle to run under mod_python with apache.

We will be making some changes to enable pootle to more easily work with
other types of files as a storage format (not only to do conversion). In
this regard you will notice how classes get based on storage/base.py and
we adapt pootle to only use functionality from those classes as far as
possible. So there will be some changes related to pootlefile and its
users.

I'm not sure exactly when you checked the roadmap, but we are just about
on track I would say. You'll see the items that are finished are crossed
out.

When you have more time and the need for more interactive discussions,
you can join us on irc on #pootle on irc.freenode.net (someone is there
most of the time).

Regards,
Friedel
